Cath I’Anson – Spider Phobia Client (2015)

PublishedOctober 15, 2015

For as long as I can remember I’ve been terrified of spiders. Just to see one in the corner of a room would send me into a fit of panic; I’d start hyperventilating, burst into hysterical tears and scream for my husband to come and rescue me. I was frightened of dead spiders, and even the stalks on the tops of tomatoes made my heart skip a beat because they reminded me of spiders!

It was ridiculous and irrational, and I was concerned about passing my fears onto my children. I can’t stress enough how much Rob has helped me – after just one session, I was able to go home and that very night, caught a house spider in a glass and released it outside. Two weeks after the session, I was the only adult brave enough to hold a tarantula at a child’s party.

Although I still don’t like spiders, thanks to Rob I am now happy enough to be in the same room as one, or if required to, can catch one and remove it from the room.
